Behind the igniting plasma, beginning provides High frequency power from the 1st high frequency electric source 43 to coil 42, forms induction field in bell jar 32, simultaneously, stops to provide High frequency power from the 2nd high frequency electric source 34 to pedestal 33, keeps plasma by induction field afterwards.Under necessary information, also can after begin to provide High frequency power, keep from the 2nd high frequency electric source 34 High frequency power is provided from the 1st high frequency electric source 43.In this state, the flow from Ar gas supply source 61 is reduced, simultaneously, from H 2 Gas supply source 62 begins to import H in room 31 2Gas, and the limit is by heater 36 heated chip W, the processing that the natural oxide film on the wafer W is removed in etching is carried out on the limit.At this moment,, prevent that coil 42 from forming the electric field of relative wafer W surface tilt by Faraday shield spare 44, thereby, prevent to be mapped to that the picture on surface shape of wafer W is destroyed on the wafer W surface, stored charge in wafer W because of ion or electronics are oblique.In addition because inductively coupled plasma bias voltage is low in essence, so damage little.
As mentioned above, behind the natural oxide film of removing on the wafer W, regulate the air displacement of exhaust apparatus 51 and from the Ar gas delivery volume of Ar gas supply source 61 with from H 2The H of gas supply source 62 2Gas delivery volume will become the vacuum degree equal with carrying room 10, simultaneously in room 31 and the room 32, make above-mentioned supporting pin protrude in pedestal 33, lift wafer W, open gate valve 47, carrying arm 19 is entered in the room 31, take out wafer W, thereby the operation in the pre-apparatus for eliminating sludge 15 finishes.
As this treatment conditions, for example can establish the power of the 1st high frequency electric source 43: the power of 500-1000W, frequency: 450kHz, the 2nd high frequency electric source 34: the heating-up temperature of 500-1000W, frequency: 13.56MHz, heater 36: 50-500 ℃, the pressure in the room 31: 0.133-13.3Pa (0.1-100mTorr).In addition, under the Ar gas flow is the scope of 0-0.050L/min (0-50sccm), H 2Gas flow is suitably to provide gas respectively under the scope of 0-0.200L/min (0-200sccm), particularly, and the Ar gas flow when setting up an office fire: 0.050L/min (50sccm), the Ar gas flow/H when handling 2Gas flow: 0.008/0.012L/min (8/12sccm).
By above-mentioned plasma treatment, can suitably remove the natural oxide film on for example Si, CoSi, W, WSi, the TiSi.In the plasma processing apparatus of existing inductively coupled plasma method, if using Faraday shield spare 44 removes from the oblique electric field of coil 42 to pedestal 33, then electric field dies down, so there is the problem of so-called plasma igniting difficulty, but according to said structure, by the electric field that between pedestal 33 and electroconductive component 49, forms, the plasma of can lighting a fire really, and the inductively coupled plasma by induction field behind the plasma igniting forms can carry out pre-scale removal operation.
By so utilizing inductively coupled plasma, can assist plasma by magnetic-field component, so can improve H 2Ratio, reduce the ratio of Ar simultaneously, in addition,,, become low bias voltage simultaneously so can improve plasma density because can independently control plasma density and bias voltage.Thus, can extremely effectively remove natural oxide film.Under capacitance coupling plasma, because plasma unstable, so can not reduce Ar, in addition, because can not independently control plasma density and bias voltage, so can not effectively remove natural oxide film.
